The first day of testing is complete and we started with a bit of deja vu as the McLaren of Alonso was hoisted onto a recovery truck and driven back to the garage. Fortunately, a faulty wheel nut was to blame and Alonso was back out after about 2 hours in the garage. Although you would forgive the team looking on with angst as Toro Rosso completed lap after lap with their nice new Honda engine.
The only Honda powered team on the grid completed an impressive 93 laps on day one which proved to be a very promising day for the team with Brendon Hartley sitting 8th in the timesheets.
Despite Honda's impressive mileage, the Renault engines were the stars of day one. Riccardo topped the timesheets with a 1m20.179s and was the only driver to break a century recording 105 laps. Red Bull's time on day one is 1.5 seconds faster than the fastest time set on medium tires in all 8 days of testing in 2017. An impressive jump forward over winter with faster times sure to come.
Renault were one away from a century of laps and finished 4th and 5th in the timesheets as Hulkenberg and Sainz split the day between them. Alonso's fastest time would have meant a 5th place finish but his time was later disqualified for cutting the chicane. Impressive mileage and speed means day one goes to Renault power but there's a long way to go.
The front runners of Mercedes and Ferrari finished 2nd and 3rd behind Red Bull with trouble free sessions. I'm sure Mercedes will turn the engine up before the end of the week so we can all see what the real benchmark is. Bottas got the better of the running in the morning session as Hamilton was restricted to just 25 laps as cold and wet weather restricted the afternoon session. With cold weather forecast for the next 2 days it could be Thursday before we see some flying laps again.
Despite most teams finishing the afternoon session early Williams, Haas and Sauber all got over 50 laps under their belts. The only team to struggle on day one was Force India. Their russian test driver Nikita Mazepin spun out in the morning session and did not return in the afternoon finishing the day with 22 laps.
It's hard to tell how much we learnt from day one with the weather having such negative effects on the speed on show. However, the reduction in engine parts available this year seems to have had the right effect. The teams have been able to develop there packages from last year without the regulation changes to deal with and reliability has improved across the grid.

Working Mothers Need The Free Market, Too
Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 11:14 pm
Last week, my "20/20" co-anchor, Elizabeth Vargas, returned from maternity leave. Her first story was on the "mommy wars."
"Why," Elizabeth asked, "has so little been done on issues like paid maternity leave; safe, affordable child care; and flexible work schedules?"
I understand her pain. Elizabeth has a lot of responsibility: a full-time job, plus two young kids at home. I would find it overwhelming. But does that mean the government should impose leave, day care, and flex-time policies on employers or make taxpayers bear the cost for the choices women make?
All these well-intended laws have unintended consequences, and the consequences are usually worse than the problem they were meant to solve. When governments require companies to provide paid maternity leave and other benefits, many firms avoid hiring women. How is that good for women?
But Elizabeth got support from Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), who said government has to take charge. "Listen, we did that on child labor laws," he said. "If we'd left it up to business alone to decide that, I suspect there would have been many who would still be employing infants."
Even if Dodd were right that it took government to end child labor—there's evidence to suggest he's not—is he saying women need to be protected like children? That hardly sounds enlightened.
Dodd says businesses wouldn't suffer under his mandate because "in every study that's been done on areas of productivity, profitability and growth, 90 percent of the employers [who provide such amenities] have reported either no negative impact or actually a positive benefit."
Gee, if that's true, why do we need a government mandate? If offering paid leave and day care is good for companies, they will offer those benefits. Some do already.
But other companies think the burden of such promises would bankrupt them. I wouldn't dismiss that concern so quickly. People who risk their own capital make better decisions than a politician who imposes policies on others with little risk to himself.
Elizabeth pointed out that most countries have "family friendly" laws paid for by the taxpayers. But women in those countries pay a price. In Europe, the unemployment rate for women is over 10 percent—double the rate in the United States. From 1970 to 2003, employment in the United States increased 75 percent, by 58.9 million jobs. Yet in France, Germany and Italy, where many job benefits are mandated, employment grew only 26 percent, by 17.6 million jobs. And many of those new jobs were in government!
If a woman wants a career and a family, that's great. But why must government force other people to help her out? Forcing companies to behave in a certain way just limits the marketplace of possibilities.
Leaving workplace choices to women and employers creates better opportunities for both. The forthcoming book by Michelle Bernard of the Independent Women's Forum, "Women's Progress: How Women Are Wealthier, Healthier and More Independent Than Ever Before" points out that American women have never enjoyed more options or such a high quality of life. From 1997 to 2002, the number of female-owned businesses climbed 20 percent to 6.5 million firms.
That happened because in America, despite numerous attempts by bureaucrats to kill it, the entrepreneurial spirit lives. Let's not suffocate it with government rules that will only reduce women's choices.
It's wrong for politicians to treat women like damsels in need of rescue from the whims of employers. Women need what all of us need: the freedom to make decisions for themselves in a competitive marketplace.

The decaying corpse of Okojie was found at his plot of land at Igbira Camp, along Igarra/Auchi road, four days after he was said to have been missing.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), said about 200,000 candidates have been offered admission into tertiary institutions, for the 2018/2019 academic session.
NAN reports that over 1.6 million candidates wrote JAMB-organised 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Abdulrasheed Na'Allah, made this known during a reception for the winner of the maiden edition of the award, Prof. Kazeem Gbolagade, held on Thursday at the institution's main campus in Malete.
The vice-chancellor described the PAA as a post-professional review process designed for keeping professors active and productive in the tripartite areas of teaching, research and community development.
He said that to qualify for the PAA, except in exceptional or accelerated circumstances, a full professor must have spent a minimum of three years as a member of the academic staff of the university.
Na'Allah also stated that there must not necessarily be one winner of the award, adding that applicants who meet the criteria could all become winners.
He said, "Henceforth, through the Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Research, KWASU will be holding this ceremony to recognize those that have met the criteria for the award.
We shall recognize them by giving them a plaque, celebrating them and by ensuring that when budget permits that they are rewarded financially by permanently increasing their salaries.
Making money online is one thing that so many internet users want to do at one time of the other. or who don't want to make so extra cash many articles had been written in the past on how to make money online but they are mostly focused on the use of computer systems to access the internet and make money than the use of mobile devices. it is therefore important to discuss how to make money online using smartphones as the primary tool for online jobs. the internet is now been accessed more through the use of mobile devices than the regular computer system. according to a report released in the year 2014 about 60 percent of all internet connection is done over mobile devices. this is a reflection of the improved capabilities of the mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. personally i believe the emergence of android and apple ios are contributing to the increased use of mobile devices over personal computers.making money online is not as easy as most people want it to be. so many internet users believe that with the correct secret you can begin to earn dollar with little or no hard work. i am sorry but i am yet to have access to such secrets. the only secret i have been able to discover involves the hard work and dedication of the course. once the mind is set to work hard there are numerous ways whereby you can earn online using your mobile devices.
1. Blogging: blogging is one of the sure paths to making real wealth from the internet. i use the word wealth because blogging can bring you great riches. the two major blogging platforms available at the moment are; wordpress and blogspot. you can download the android application for both from the google play store. i have used both on my smart phone and with a few trick; you can get almost all your blogging jobs done over the two mobile applications.blogging has become harder to monetize with the popular Google adsense and if you are playing for it I will advise you to get ready for a hard journey ahead. you can check back for my article on how i blog using my android smart phone alone.
2. Android application development: most people are not aware that they can quickly and easily build a simple android application. they usually felt it takes rocket science to build an application for their android smart phone. you can build a website based application in less than 2 hours or learn real android programming on Hackr.io. you can make money by placing your finished application of google play store amazon app store or even on the apps geyser market. you can sell you application or make money by running advertisement on the application using ad mob or any other mobile ad services.
3. Freelance jobs: this is the most popular means of making money from the internet. a lot of websites make available jobs you cando to earn a token into your account. the jobs come in various forms like filling a form registering on a website writing an article or even interpreting website content into another language. a good and reliable example is micro worker but you can check online for other sites. payments are mostly small but when accumulated for a period it becomes something of significance. you can collect your earnings through popular online payment platforms. apart from having mobile sites which you can access on your smartphones you can access the standard website using a very good mobile browser on your smart phone.
Author's Bio: Kolapo Imam is a Content Engineer and a Social Media Enthusiast. He is currently a Digital Marketing Intern at Hackr.io.
As disclosed via social media on Tuesday is that the UTME 2018 results have been released, with some candidates posting their alleged results online.
Fabian, therefore, maintained that although the UTME results are ready, they will not be released immediately to enable officials to view the CCTV cameras to check for exam malpractice.
Good Day Everyone, and My Fellow Nigerian Students.
My name is Mariam Giwa and I wish to address the issue behind a post that has been going viral about me being assaulted by a male student.
This post is a fabricated one, not true, as I am in good health and state.
Truly, there was a little misunderstanding between two friends, and the school security department gave maximum attention to the issue till it was resolved with adequate fairness given to both parties.
Our prestigious University, the Kwara state university is a school with zero tolerance for indiscipline and violence and there is no way a student will be allowed to go unpunished for committing any crime whatsoever, irrespective of who it concerns.
The picture which was posted with the wrong information was taken long ago when i had problem with my eyes.
I was not forced or threatened to write this, I am addressing this with a free mind. I am in a good state and I sincerely apologize for any wrong allegations made by those who misinterpreted the situation and blew it beyond proportion, against the school and the accused.


I'm wrecking an Alfa 164.
It is too good to throw out. It has only done 132,000Km no accidents and was owned/serviced by Adrian from Ritmo motors.
All parts extremely low price.

A Poisson regression model with interactions
Categories: Blog post Tags: Poisson regression
I got a question about how to interpret an interaction term in a Poisson regression model. The first thing to remember is that the estimates in a Poisson regression model are computed using a log link function. When you transform them back using an anti-log, you get an estimate of a ratio. Sometimes it is called an incidence density ratio.
In this particular model, there were two independent variables, temperature and height (2M, 22M, and 48M). Height has three levels, so he coded an indicator variable for the 22M category and the 48M category. The coefficient for temperature is 0.08, the coefficient for the two dummy variables are 0.38 and 0.01. This model has a separate interaction term for each dummy variable and temperature. These coefficients are both -0.03. He did not specify an intercept. Let's pretend it is 3.52.
The temperature coefficient is positive and it shows that in the reference category (2M), there is an increase in count as temperature increases. The antilog of 0.08 is 1.08, which tells you that the average count increases by 8% for each unit increase in temperature in the 2M category. A ten unit increase would produce a relative shift in the average count equal to the antilog of 0.80 or 2.22. In other words, a ten unit shift produces more than a doubling in average count (again remember that this is for the reference category of 2M).
The interaction terms show how much the effect of temperature changes when you are in the 22M or 48M categories. In this setting, both interactions are -0.03, so this tells you that the increase in the average rate per unit increase in temperature is the antilog of 0.08 -0.03 or 1.05. So in the other two categories, temperature has a less pronounced effect. It is sitll probably an important effect, though since a 10 unit shift in temperature yields an relative increase in the average count of antilog(0.50) or 1.64. This still seems like a sizable increase to me.
The intercept term represents the estimate average log count when temperature equals zero and for 2M. Take the antilog of 3.52 to get 33.8. Now a temperature of zero is well below the range of possible values, so we will not attach too much importance to this estimate.
The coefficients of the two dummy variables show how the intercept changes for the 22M and 48M groups. Take the antilog of 0.38 and 0.01 to get 1.46 and 1.01 respectively. This tells you that the average count is about 50% higher in the 22M than the 2M and almost the same in the 48M. This is only true when temperature equals zero, however, since there is an interaction. If there were no interaction, then the 1.46 would represent the relative difference in the two average counts at any fixed temperature.
What does this model tell you for more reasonable temperatures, such as 10 or 20. You could get a predicted average rate in the 2M group of 75.2 (antilog of 3.52 + 10*0.08), in the 22M group of 81.5 (antilog of 3.52 + 0.38 + 10*0.05), and in the 48M group of 56.3 (antilog of 3.52 + 0.01 +10*0.05). Note that at 10 degrees the 2M group no longer lags the 22M group by about 50%. Instead they are almost equal. Note that the 2M group has surpassed the 48M group at 10 degrees (they were almost identical at 0).
It is an interesting exercise to ask where the 2M line (3.52 + 0.08 T) and 22M line (3.90 + 0.05 T) cross. It occurs right around 12.67. For temperatures at or below this value, the 22M line has a higher average count, but this reverses for temperatures above 12.67.
The 2M and 48M lines also cross, but at a point very close to zero. For most reasonable values of temperature, 2M is better than 48M, and the relative gap widens as temperature increases.
A second model had an interaction between two continuous variables, wind speed and rain. The coefficients for wind, rain, and the interaction are 0.9, -0.04, and -0.11 respectively. Wind increases the average count by 2.46 (antilog of 0.9) per unit increase, when rain is held constant at zero. A unit increase in rain leads to a 0.96 (antilog of -0.04) relative change, assuming that wind is held constant at zero.
The interaction is negative which means two things: the effect of wind is weaker when rain is positive, and the effect of rain is stronger (even more negative) when wind is positive.
For example, the slope for wind when rain equals 5 units is 0.9 - 0.11*5 = 0.45. The antilog here is 1.56 meaning a slightly more than 50% increase when wind increases by one unit on a day when rain equals 5 units. At zero, the effect was 2.46 (antilog of 0.9), a much more pronounced effect.
The slope for rain when wind equals 10 is -0.04 - 0.11*10 = -1.14. The antilog is 0.32, which means that a one unit increase in rain lower the average count roughly by a factor of 3. This statement is only true when wind equals 10. When wind equals zero, the relative change is 0.96 (antilog of -0.04) per unit increase in rain, which is hardly a change at all.
An interesting exercise again is to see at what value of rain, does the interaction cancel out the positive slope for wind. That value is 8.2 (= 0.9 / 0.11). So when rain is at 8.2, the average count does not change as wind changes.
So what's the general conclusion. A dry wind increases count compared to a dry calm, but a wet wind compared to a wet calm does so to a much lesser degree. Too much wetness cancel out or even reverse this relationship. Rain has a slightly negative impact when it is calm, but has an increasingly strong influence as the weather gets windier.
You can get confidence intervals for all of these values, but you need to know both the standard error of the individual coefficients and the correlations among the coefficients.

He did an authentic biography of Mahatma Gandhi for Children in 1929. Along with Gandhiji, he wrote biographies of several freedom fighters and did a great work in spreading the personalities behind freedom struggle among children. He has also written his autobiography in Gujarti and worked with Navajivan Trust for several years in the post-independance era.


A map is a graphic representation or scale model of spatial concepts. It is a means for conveying geographic information. Maps are a universal medium for communication, easily understood and appreciated by most people, regardless of language or culture. Incorporated in a map is the understanding that it is a "snapshot" of an idea, a single picture, a selection of concepts from a constantly changing database of geographic information (Merriam 1996).
Old maps provide much information about what was known in past times, as well as the philosophy and cultural basis of the map, which were often much different from modern cartography. Maps are one means by which scientists distribute their ideas and pass them on to future generations (Merriam 1996).
Cartography is the art and science of making maps. The oldest known maps are preserved on Babylonian clay tablets from about 2300 B.C. Cartography was considerably advanced in ancient Greece. The concept of a spherical Earth was well known among Greek philosophers by the time of Aristotle (ca. 350 B.C.) and has been accepted by all geographers since. Greek and Roman cartography reached a culmination with Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy, about A.D. 85-165). His "world map" depicted the Old World from about 60°N to 30°S latitudes. He wrote a monumental work, Guide to Geography (Geographike hyphygesis), which remained an authorative reference on world geography until the Renaissance.

During the Medieval period, European maps were dominated by religious views. The T-O map was common. In this map format, Jerusalem was depicted at the center and east was oriented toward the map top. Viking explorations in the North Atlantic gradually were incorporated into the world view beginning in the 12th buy Viagra 100mg online century. Meanwhile, cartography developed along more practical and realistic lines in Arabic lands, including the Mediterranean region. All maps were, of course, drawn and illuminated by hand, which made the distribution of maps extremely limited.

The invention of printing made maps much more widely available beginning in the 15th century. Maps were at first printed using carved wooden blocks. Printing with engraved copper plates appeared in the 16th century and continued to be the standard until photographic techniques were developed. Major advances in cartography took place during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries. Map makers responded with navigation charts, which depicted coast lines, islands, rivers, harbors, and features of sailing interest. Compass lines and other navigation aids were included. Such maps were held in great value for economic, military, and diplomatic purposes, and so were often treated as national or commercial secrets–classified or proprietary maps.

I am so impressed with the quality of the Christmas cards by presto photo Christmas in July is a big thing and why not get your cards a little bit early so you don't have to worry about the order process. Even though the order process is super easy to get done. These are their Christmas in July flat greeting cards. These cards are a 5 x 7 and have a picture on the front side and the back is blank to write whatever you would like. You can also have custom text on the lower part of your card or for that matter wherever you want on that card.

Another Clothing Company Takes a Stand Against Elephant Abuse!
Posted by Kim on July 13, 2015
American Eagle Outfitters has become the latest company to make the compassionate decision to stop promoting animal abuse. Following a request from PETA, the popular clothing company has pulled from its shelves a T-shirt featuring a picture of an elephant performing a circus trick.
Shrine 93rd Circus 2014 | Paula Lively | CC By 2.0
In circuses, trainers abuse tigers, bears, elephants, and other animals daily and force them to perform stupid tricks for "entertainment." Elephants are repeatedly beaten with bullhooks—sharp instruments that resemble a fireplace poker—sometimes until they bleed, in order to force them to perform dangerous, uncomfortable tricks, such as the one featured on the T-shirt.
More and more companies like American Eagle are realizing that bears, elephants, tigers, and other animals do not voluntarily ride bicycles, stand on their heads, balance on balls, or jump through rings of fire. Animals don't perform these and other difficult tricks because they want to—they perform because they're afraid of what will happen if they don't.
In its decision to pull the shirts, American Eagle stated that the company opposes the inhumane treatment of animals and does not tolerate cruelty to animals in the design, manufacturing, or testing of its products.
Other companies, including Burger King, Denny's, MasterCard, and Sears, also ended their circus promotions and sponsorships after learning that animals used in circuses are hauled from city to city in cramped boxcars or trailers and beaten in order to get them to perform on cue. In 2006, Lucky Brand Jeans pulled 20,000 Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus logo T-shirts from its shelves after learning about the abuses that animals endure in the circus.
To thank American Eagle for its decision to put kindness above profit, PETA has sent the company a box of vegan chocolate elephants.
Never go to any circus that uses animals, and spread the word!
Check out these shirts, which let the world know that animals are NOT OURS to use for entertainment!

Obama's latest immigration tinkering targets guest-worker spouses caught in limbo
AP Photo/Jason DeCrow
Good news for their spouses.
February 26, 2015 This article is more than 2 years old.
Spouses of skilled foreign guest workers in the US will be allowed to work legally for the first time, a decision expected to ease hardship on families, and encourage them to become permanent residents.
The Obama administration, faced again with Congress' lack of interest in fixing the broken US immigration system, is using executive authority to respond to the pleas of both global business and immigrants. About 180,000 spouses are expected to be eligible for new work permits in the next 12 months, and about 60,000 annually after that. Elizabeth Stern, an attorney specializing in global labor issues, told Quartz that, since it does not change their immigration status in the country, the rule change will be less controversial than Obama's attempt to allow unauthorized immigrants to work legally.
The permits are for spouses of guest workers who have lived in the US for at least five years on an H-1B visa—which requires the sponsorship of an employer, and a degree in a skilled field—and who are applying for foreign residency. In practical terms, that means mostly Indian nationals, who dominate the skilled guest worker visa roles, particularly in technical fields: they account for 64% of all H-1B visas approved in 2012, or 168,367 workers. (The labor flow between India and the US is so significant that American immigration policy is frequently an important topic for diplomacy between the two countries.)
H-1B visas are issued for three years, and typically renewed once, but participants in the program can also apply for permanent residency. However, a rule that limits immigration from any one country to 7% of all immigrant visas issue means that nationals applying from the largest countries face daunting backlogs. In 2015, the government will issue just 144,000 employment-related immigration visas, but the wait list includes 323,089 Indian nationals and 243,400 Chinese nationals.
Faced with this hold-up, a 2000 law—the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act—granted extensions to H-1B holders waiting for the residency quotas to be met. But while they wait, their spouses couldn't work, meaning that they could be living in the US for six years or more without working. Stern points out that spouses of immigrants with other kinds of visas get work permits, "but not the H-1B visa holders relied upon by corporate America." She addsa: "In a way, that pain can be felt even more when somebody sees [their] neighbor down the hall, on another visa category, working. [They wonder,] 'Why can't my spouse have the right to work?'"
The situation has proven untenable to immigrants, both from the economic need for a second earner in the household and the perspective of family satisfaction—a highly educated, English-speaking worker may well have a spouse with the same characteristics who also wants to put his or her skills to work, perhaps someone they met while both attending a US college. That has put pressure on skilled workers contemplating permanent residency in the US to return home if they are stuck on a wait-list, leading employers to complain as well.
While the number of spouses expected to take advantage of this opportunity is small compared to the US workforce, the H-1B program itself has been criticized for reducing US jobs by bringing cheaper labor into the country—though economic research suggests that more skilled labor generally leads to higher wages in a dynamic job market.
In particular, two large Indian technology firms, Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys, which regularly bring thousands of Indian workers to the US on H-1B visas, have come in for criticism: They had to pay a $34 million settlement to the US government for abusing visa rules in 2013. One critic of the program, a member of the US electrical engineers trade association, cites figures that show the two companies sponsored 12,432 H-1B visas in 2013, but only seven applications for permanent residency.
The new rule change should relieve some of the pressure, but it's worth noting that the comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by the Senate in 2013 included that fix, and a plan to adjust the residency quotas that would have taken significant pressure off the backlog, making the system more efficient. The bill also contained measures that would have restricted the ability of TCS and Infyosys to hire most of their US workforce from India.


Classic membership is 7 sails per month: essentially 1/8th of a boat's available time. Not only do you have plenty of time allotted to you each month, but you can also bank time to string together a multi-day cruise. Classic Members can also jump on their boat with short notice using our "as available" 36-hour rule which waives the usage rules when you reserve your sailing time inside 36 hours of your departure time.
A 'half-membership' that is perfect for new sailors or those with little time. A Lite membership offers 3 sail times every month: 2 during the week and 1 on the weekend. Lite members can purchase additional time within 24 hours, but cannot bank or trade times from month to month.
An excellent membership choice for folks who are free to sail during the week, or don't want to deal with the on-water weekend traffic of the weekend. Weekday-only membership offers 4 weekday uses every month, with the ability to purchase additional weekday sails on 24 hours' notice. Weekday-Only members cannot reserve national holidays unless purchased with 24-hour as-available sailing.
With our Crew membership, sailors can be the crew during 2 prescheduled sailing adventures every month. Sailing with the guidance and support of a USCG licensed Captain, crew members gain the additional instruction, confidence, and experience to develop the skills needed to skipper a boat on their own in the future. Crew Members also get added to our Crew Connection system. When one of our SailTime members needs an "extra pair of hands" they can invite you for a sail.
* ASA courses 101, 103 and 104 are required. ASA 114 additional requirement for catamaran membership.
Our office, St. Augustine Sailing Enterprises, offers ASA sailing school, captained charters, bareboat charters, a 'small boat' sailing club and membership sailing in SailTime Northeast Florida. We invite you to come and experience the wonder of sailing among the dolphins and manatees!

Supplementary MaterialsSupp info. The power from the site to connect to IIb3 was proven by surface area plasmon resonance straight, with contributions through the and domains. The PDI fragment that binds to platelets but does not have the essential C-terminal energetic site inhibited platelet aggregation and in vivo thrombosis. Furthermore, Gamma-glutamylcysteine (TFA) site mutations in the domains Gamma-glutamylcysteine (TFA) that led to incomplete binding to platelets, retrieved aggregation of PDI-null platelets partially. PDI mutants that didn't bind demonstrated no recovery. Summary: PDI functionally interacts with IIb3 on platelets through the substrate binding site, using the and domains adding to effective binding. and a 19 amino domains and acid. The C-terminal CGHC energetic site theme in the site of PDI mediates activation from the platelet IIb3 integrin that's needed is for platelet aggregation and platelet build up Gamma-glutamylcysteine (TFA) in vivo [3]. The site of PDI functions as the rule binding site for peptides, even though the and domains donate to binding to bigger partner proteins [4C6]. The site does not donate to the binding of peptides or nonnative proteins [7] or even to thiol-disulfide exchange reactions [8], as well as the C-terminal expansion is not associated with substrate binding [5]. Binding of PDI towards the IIb3 platelet integrin continues to be studied using natural proteins, IIb3 indicated in cells, and undamaged platelets. Using surface area plasmon resonance PDI offers been proven to directly connect to IIb3 and with the 3 subunit of IIb3 [9, 10]. PDI binds to Mn2+-treated CHO cells that communicate IIb3 or the v3 platelet integrin Gamma-glutamylcysteine (TFA) however, not to CHO cells expressing P-selectin [9]. There's a low binding of PDI to nonactivated platelets; however, PDI binding to platelets raises with platelet activation [3 significantly, 10]. PDI binding to thrombin-activated or Mn2+-treated mouse platelets missing the IIb3 integrin can be reduced by ~70% in comparison to platelets from crazy type mice [3, 10]. Mn2+ straight induces conformational adjustments in IIb3 in the lack of platelet activation [11], recommending that PDI straight interacts with IIb3 on platelets since it goes through conformational adjustments [3]. Mutation from the Cys in the CGHC energetic sites of PDI will not influence the binding of PDI and IIb3 [3, 10], implying particular substrate binding sites on PDI mediate non-covalent binding. The system where PDI binds to its Rabbit polyclonal to WAS.The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a disorder that results from a monogenic defect that hasbeen mapped to the short arm of the X chromosome. WAS is characterized by thrombocytopenia,eczema, defects in cell-mediated and humoral immunity and a propensity for lymphoproliferativedisease. The gene that is mutated in the syndrome encodes a proline-rich protein of unknownfunction designated WAS protein (WASP). A clue to WASP function came from the observationthat T cells from affected males had an irregular cellular morphology and a disarrayed cytoskeletonsuggesting the involvement of WASP in cytoskeletal organization. Close examination of the WASPsequence revealed a putative Cdc42/Rac interacting domain, homologous with those found inPAK65 and ACK. Subsequent investigation has shown WASP to be a true downstream effector ofCdc42 substrates continues to be researched using both Gamma-glutamylcysteine (TFA) recombinant fragments of PDI and full-length PDI including stage mutations of chosen amino acidity residues. Using fragments of PDI, the site was found to become the main binding site of PDI [7]. As the site was adequate for PDI binding to little peptides, addition of either the or domains towards the site was necessary for binding to a larger 28 amino acid PDI substrate peptide of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, as well as to the PDI substrate, scrambled RNase [7]. The domains of human PDI were the minimal element for binding to Ero1 in the oxidative folding pathway [12]. Binding of the domain name of full-length PDI had the greatest effect on abolishing PDI binding to small peptides and decreases affinity for scrambled RNase [13]. PDI functions as the -subunit in collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase to form 22 tetramers with the collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit, an conversation thought to mimic that of PDI with its substrates [4]. Studies using PDI fragments found the minimum requirement for PDI to function as the subunit of collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase was the and domains of PDI [14]. However, mutational studies showed that binding sites in the and domains contributed for the most efficient assembly of the collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase tetramer [4]. There are no reports we are aware of that characterize PDI binding to a native protein substrate. In this study we used both fragments of PDI and PDI variants with mutations of selected amino acids to study binding of PDI to thrombin-activated platelets. While there is low binding of PDI to non-activated platelets, PDI binding dramatically increased with platelet activation. The domain name had an essential role for both PDI binding and support of platelet aggregation. However, the and domains were required for both maximal binding and ability of PDI to support platelet aggregation. Since the IIb3 platelet integrin is the principle-binding partner for PDI on platelets [3, 9, 10], these studies suggest that the and domains are needed for efficient binding to IIb3 as it undergoes conformational changes associated with platelet activation.

Every parent worries at some point about their child. However, if you suspect your child is being bullied, it is natural to feel confused, angry and guilty.
If you notice your child acting differently, avoiding school, coming home with physical injuries, performing less well at school or generally not behaving as normal, it is possible they could be being bullied.
Bullying can present itself in different forms, from physical bullying to verbal and psychological bullying. There is an increase in bullying using email and text messaging.
You may also wonder whether your child is a bully and this can be equally upsetting and distressing for parents.
If you have concerns that a young person you care about is being bullied or is bullying other children talk to them and try and find out what is happening in their lives. Further help and advice can be found using the related links below.

Video: Ryan Miller's outstanding stick save in win vs. Caps
By James O'BrienJan 12, 2014, 6:01 PM EST
The biggest stories surrounding the Buffalo Sabres seem to be coming off the ice lately, even for Ryan Miller. The U.S. Olympian seems capable of canceling that out when he's playing, however, as he helped the Sabres gain a 2-1 shootout win against the Washington Capitals on Sunday.
Here's his best save of the game, as he got a stick on Mikhail Grabovski's shot:
Still, with all the changes happening in the organization, the questions swirl about Miller's future with the franchise. The 33-year-old told the Buffalo News that he isn't ready to discuss a contract extension with the team just yet.
"It seems like he's put in a lot of time evaluating talent and that's a good place to start," Miller said of new GM Tim Murray. "He's been around some good organizations so let's see what direction he wants to take it and go from there."
Miller seemed flattered that new team president Pat LaFontaine wants to keep him long-term, but still wants to sit down with Buffalo's brass before leaning in one direction or the other.
"It's nice of him but I still need to kind of see what's going on in the bigger picture," Miller said. "It's something where last time I didn't really talk to Pat about things. He was just getting his bearings and getting a look around so I guess it's time to talk to him again and see what's going on with his side of things. I'm going to wait to have any conversations with those guys before I start getting too far along."
Besides, Miller might just raise his stock a little more as this season goes along and the 2014 Winter Olympics approach.

Line Out vs Headphone Out
The headphone jack, ultimately a design flaw in the industry. As technology has undergone rapid progress, we have seen that most devices are losing their analog plugs due to limited space and power consumption. Can the two-pronged cable be replaced with only one?
The "line out vs headphone out motherboard" is a question that has been asked many times. The answer is the line out, which outputs audio to your speakers or headphones.
We earn money from qualifying purchases made on our website as an Amazon Associate.
Headphone outputs and line outputs are two similar audio connectors that are commonly mixed up.
The line out is an audio connection port for a line-level out output. Line outs are used to connect to external amplifiers, whilst headphone outs are used to drive headphones.
A line output produces an audio signal that may be further increased by an external amplifier, while a headphone out enhances the signal before delivering it.
What Is Line Out and How Does It Work?
A line-out is an audio connection port that can create a line-level audio stream (or Line Output). The line level signals are stable enough to be transferred across several devices without major signal variations.
Line out, on the other hand, refers to an audio output port or point of connection on a source device to which external devices such as speakers, headphones, or other output devices are connected. The audio devices can receive line-level audio signals from the source device via line out.
Guitars, bass amps, keyboards, mixers, and a variety of other devices have a line out. As a result, the machines transmit audio signals out across the line to other devices for processing.
For example, utilizing the mixer's line out, you may transfer an audio signal from the mixer to a keyboard amp.
What Is The Definition Of Line In?
Line in is an audio jack used to connect to another audio output device or the microphone. It is also known as sound in, audio in, or mic in. It might be analog or digital, and its main function is to manipulate incoming audio or audio recordings.
Most audio equipment and PCs have a line in port. You can attach microphones, portable music players, and other audio equipment to them since they carry electrical audio signals.
What Does It Mean To Have A Headphone Out?
A headphone out, in general, is an output that has adequate amplification to drive headphones.
Keep in mind that headphones are passive speakers that rely on external amplification to create audible sound. As a result, "Amplification" is the term in "Headphone Out."
To go even further, headphone line out is the technology that is utilized to replace/substitute line level output. A headphone line-out may connect headphones, external speakers, and other output devices to your speaker.
When it comes to sound quality, a pure line output will outperform a headphone line out. In recent years, though, the difference has shrunk to nearly nothing.
As a consequence, headphones and line-level output loads may both be driven via headphone line outs.
Line Out vs. Headphone Out: What's the Difference?
Because they're so similar, most people can't tell the difference between Line Outs and Headphone Outs. Headphone out is used to enhance line-level signals in order to drive headphones.
Line-Outs are audio ports that transmit line-level audio signals between two audio devices. The key differences between the audio connection ports line-out and headphone out are detailed below.
Line out and headphone out seem to be quite comparable based on the information we've previously given. However, there are some significant distinctions between them. Let's have a look at some of the differences in more detail.
Signal Quality at the Output
You've probably figured out that headphone outs have built-in amplifiers, but line outs don't. When a result, it's reasonable to assume that the amplifier causes some distortion in the music as it amplifies the signal.
The degree of distortion may be large or low depending on the quality of the amplifier used in your headphone out.
When compared to those produced by low-quality amplifiers, certain high-quality amplifiers will give flawless sound, and even if they do have some little noise, it may be difficult to discern.
Because line-level outputs lack amplifiers, the sound they produce is often exceedingly clean.
Line-level outputs typically have a source impedance of 50 to a few hundred ohms. They're designed to drive inputs with high impedances of up to 5k ohms or higher. They're also well-suited to low-noise and low-distortion applications, particularly when dealing with high-impedance loads.
Headphone outs, on the other hand, are usually constructed with a source impedance of less than a hundred ohms.
They're designed to drive headphones with impedances ranging from 16 ohms to 300 ohms. Furthermore, they are well-suited to offer low noise and low distortion with low impedance loads.
As a result, it's evident that headphone outs are designed to handle lower impedance loads, whilst line outs are designed to handle greater impedance loads.
The line out signals' source resistance is in the region of 100 ohms and higher. They're designed to power signal loads with high input impedance. Unlike line outs, headphone outs have a much lower signal intensity.
They range in impedance from 16 to 600 ohms. Headphone outs are used to minimize the resistance that headphones cause. Headphone outs are designed to deliver high current with little signal loss and noise creation when used with low impedance loads.
A headphone output, on the other hand, is designed specifically for low-impedance loads and may provide more power to them. In contrast, a line-out is intended to drive loads with greater impedance ratings.
Volume Control And Amplification
Line outs aren't often used to power headphones. This is due to the fact that they are not equipped with amplifiers. Headphones out, on the other hand, are equipped with amplifiers that allow them to drive headphones.
In many circumstances, if you utilize a device with a line out and an in-built amplifier, the amp will be bypassed by the line out. If the device has both a headphone out and an amplifier, the amp will assist in driving the headphone by enhancing the audio signal sent via it.
You also have no control over the level of audio that comes via the line outs. Because line outs are meant to link to external amplifiers from which volume controls may be made, this is the case. Headphone outs, on the other hand, have volume controls built in since they have built-in amplifiers.
• Signal Purity at the Output
Signals are boosted and transmitted to the headphones at line level. As a consequence, audio signals delivered via a headphone port may be amplified many times, possibly distorting or adding noise to the signal.
As a consequence, compared to the clear sound from the line out, headphone outputs are often muffled. This noise, however, may be difficult to notice depending on the intensity of the headphone out's built-in amp. On the other hand, line-level output signals are exceedingly pure.
They've been fine-tuned to produce nearly no noise or distortion. In principle, since line-out broadcasts have a low audio signal strength, they are less prone to be distorted.
• Amplification and volume control
Because line outs lack built-in amplifiers, they are unsuitable for driving headphones. On the other side, a headphone out was created with built-in amplifiers. As a consequence, headphone outputs may be more powerful while exhibiting less distortion.
The amp in a device with an inbuilt amp is bypassed when you utilize the line out. The device to which line outs are attached has a set volume. On the other side, you may adjust the volume of a headphone output.
Is it possible to use a headphone out as a line out?
Headphone outs are designed to drive low impedance loads, while line outs are designed to drive high impedance loads.
As a consequence, swapping them may not provide satisfactory results. You may, however, utilize the headphone out as a line out without causing any damage to your equipment.
Additionally, certain contemporary gadgets, such as keyboards, may lack separate line out and headphone out connectors. For example, if your device just has a headphone out, you may utilize it as a line out as well.
Keep the level low to avoid damaging your device and to guarantee you're receiving decent audio with little noise and distortion.
The basic line is that you may utilize the headphone output of your smartphone as a line out. There will be no major signal quality loss or distortion as a result of this.
Headphone outs may be utilized with line outs. Despite the fact that headphone outputs are not as clean as line output signals, they may be utilized as line-outs without compromising sound quality.
As a general rule, it's a good idea to keep the volume down. This is because a headphone out signal has a much stronger audio output than a Line Out signal. This reduces noise and eliminates signal distortion.
Despite the fact that utilizing a headphone out as a line-out is a viable option.
Experts in the field of audio warn against creating such links.
Is it possible to use headphones with the line out?
Because line-level outs have low signal carry, they have little impact on the headphone.
As a result, the headphone may be able to use the line out, but the sound quality will be poor. Because line outs lack amplifiers, the sound signal is not amplified before being sent to the headphones.
The experience you get with this form of connection, on the other hand, may vary depending on the headphones you use and their electrical impedance.
Keep in mind that the headphones employ a coil that requires sufficient signal strength in the form of electrical power to vibrate and recreate sound. Because the line out signal is often weak, you may hear very little or no sound at all.
In the end, headphones may be hooked into a Line Out jack. The audio output will be weak if it can be detected at all via the headphones. This is the situation because the audio signal from the line out is usually inadequate to drive headphones.
This implies you'll very probably hear nothing if you put a headphone into a Line Out. Even if you do, you'll have a hard time hearing anything. Even if the audio is loud enough, the bass will be greatly reduced.
All of these issues will, of course, differ depending on the headphones you're wearing and the device's line Out.
It's important to note that the Line Out functionality does not have the necessary signal amplification for your headphones to work.
What Is the Definition of Headphone Line Out?
Headphone line output systems are integrated into modern electronics. Technically, they are output lines that combine line out and headphone out.
They're more adaptable and user-friendly since you can use them to power both line-level and headphone devices without difficulty.
What Does It Mean When An Amplifier Says "Line Out"?
The amplifier's functioning premise is a straightforward and easy-to-understand audio connection technique. The line outs and line-ins are coupled to deliver line-level audio signals from one device to another. Through the port's line, the signal is received.
Finally, when it comes to line outs and headphone outs, there are a few things to bear in mind.
Headphone outs feature built-in amplifiers that amplify the signal before sending it to the headphones, while line outs are meant to direct signals into external amplifiers. To get the greatest results, you should limit each port to its intended function.
The "line out vs headphone out reddit" is a question that has been asked by many people. The answer to the question, is that the line out option will output sound to your speakers or headphones.
Is headphone out the same as line out?
A: Yes, though there are some slight differences in the functionality of each.
Do headphones go in line out or line in?
A: They go in line out.

At the preview for her new exhibition at the Serpentine Sackler gallery in London, artist Hito Steyerl took the opportunity to address what she called the 'elephant in the room': the institution's firm ties to a family that is widely blamed for profiting from the opioid epidemic in the United States, which has killed more than 200,000 people since 1999.
"It is very difficult for a single person, an artist, or an institution, to handle this tricky situation," the visibly nervous artist said after introductory remarks, adding that the gallery's "association to a family who are under a lot of critical scrutiny for good reason" was problematic.
Likening the situation to being unknowingly married to a serial killer for years, she called on the art world to "pull together and start solving the problem" by finding legal ways to sever ties with the family, which has profited enormously from the sale of the opioid drug OxyContin, the drug at the center of the epidemic in the US.
The artist's show, titled "Hito Steyerl: Power Plants," includes an augmented reality app through which visitors can see a version of the building's façade where the Sackler name is notably absent.
"If we don't address this problem, if we allow these criminal activities to infiltrate the art world, there will be long-term consequences," Steyerl said.
Explaining that she was unsure of exactly how to handle the situation, the artist designed a piece of "future-predicting" AI technology that offered a helpful and unexpected suggestion for how to solve the Sackler problem.
"It said 'I see no problem,' predicting that in the near and foreseeable future, everyone will pull together to solve to preserve this art world, and this problem will not exist," the artist said.
Steyerl told her audience that she had consulted with the photographer Nan Goldin, who has been campaigning hard against the Sackler family's presence in the art world through her activist group, P.A.I.N. Echoing Goldin's demands, Steyerl called on institutions bearing the family's name to undergo an "un-naming" process, which she admitted would be "tricky," while adding that even a conversation about it would make a difference. She also asked that institutions publicly declare whether they would continue to accept funding from the problematic family.
A spokesperson for the Serpentine said the gallery had been expecting Steyerl's statements, which emerged in discussion with the artist.
Steyerl's exhibition, which opens to the public tomorrow, April 11, is centered on themes of societal power and inequality, and includes video installations showing an imagined future garden. It also marks the launch of an augmented reality app called "Actual Reality," which allows users to visualize data about inequality in the neighborhood surrounding the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, which has one of the starkest rates of economic disparity in Europe.
"Hito Steyerl: Power Plants" is on view April 11 through May 6 at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London.

Business Description: The Paw Palace's concept started long ago with a love of animals. In 2007, owner Heidi McAra relocated to Grand Blanc from Atlanta along with her basset hound Charlotte and cat Gracie. She quickly realized that there were limited pet care options in the area and simply nothing like the spa-like, pampered pet care treatment facilities in the South. After practicing law locally with her husband for several years and having two wonderful children, Heidi decided it was time to create her vision of a "palace" for pets. Because everyone tries to find time to get to work, clean the house and visit loved ones, it is impossible for you to provide your animals with the time and attention that they constantly crave. During these times, rest assured that the Paw Palace is willing and eager to provide a fun-filled, safe and loving environment for your furry companion.

Post-Bye Drama Includes Odell's Catch, OT Wins
Nick Eatman
DallasCowboys.com Staff Writer / Senior Manager, Digital Media
With the way the NFL is always changing, it can be rather difficult to pinpoint and exact a trend to anything.
What might have happened five years ago, doesn't always relate to today's game.
That may or may not be the case with the Cowboys and their recent history coming off bye weeks. Since Jason Garrett became the full-time head coach in 2011, the Cowboys are 4-3 in the games immediately following their break.
Now that could be expected, considering that Garrett's overall record is a little above .500 at 70-57.
But a trend that must be worth noting is the type of game the Cowboys have been playing in these post-bye weeks. And if it continues next Monday when the Cowboys take on the Titans, just be prepared for some drama all the way until the end.
Aside from last year's blowout win over the 49ers, the Cowboys have managed to play every one of these games after the bye week all the way to the final minute, and even to the final seconds in some cases.
You've got overtime wins, last-second field goals as time expires, touchdowns in the final seconds, missed field goals at the buzzer and just about any other way you can win or lose a game at the end.
2011 – Patriots 20, Cowboys 16
The Cowboys went into Foxboro and had plenty of chances to steal a win from Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Leading by three with the ball in the final three minutes, the Cowboys couldn't get a much-needed first down. Instead, Brady got the ball back and went to work, finding Wes Welker four times on the final drive, which resulted in a go-ahead touchdown to Aaron Hernandez with just 22 seconds left, giving New England the win.
2012 – Ravens 31, Cowboys 29
This was one of the first games where Garrett was criticized heavily for clock management. Down by eight in the final minute, the Cowboys scored on a touchdown pass from Tony Romo to Dez Bryant, but the ensuing two-point conversion try was no good. With just 32 seconds left, Andre Holmes recovered Dan Bailey's onside kick, giving the Cowboys another shot. After a pass interference penalty on the Ravens, the Cowboys had first down at the Baltimore 34 with 26 seconds and a timeout. However, they managed just 1 yard and called timeout with 6 seconds left, giving Bailey a 51-yard attempt to win the game. He pulled the kick just to the left and the Cowboys went away with a disappointing loss.
2013 – Cowboys 24, Giants 21
Entering the game with a 5-5 record, the Cowboys needed to steal a road win at the Meadowlands in the worst way. Leading 21-6 in the third quarter after Jason Witten caught his second touchdown pass, the Cowboys couldn't hold on to the lead for long. Eli Manning threw two scores and the Giants rallied to tie the game. But with 4:45 to play, Romo executed a masterful 14-play drive that chewed up the entire clock. This time, Bailey drilled the game-winning kick from 35 yards to give Dallas the win and a season sweep of the Giants.
For the second straight year, the Cowboys went to New York following the bye, and this game will always be remembered for another reason: Odell Beckham's remarkable one-handed catch will go down as one of the best plays in NFL history. It also gave the underdog Giants a 14-3 lead. But the Cowboys rallied behind Romo, who threw four touchdown passes. On the final possession, trailing 28-24, he led the Cowboys on an 80-play scoring drive.
2015 – Giants 27, Cowboys 20
This time it was the Giants that pulled out a late victory, as the Cowboys faced New York following the bye week for a third straight year. The Cowboys had just tied the game in the fourth quarter on a Devin Street touchdown, but it was a former drafted receiver, now playing for the Giants, who doomed them. Dwayne Harris returned the kickoff 101 yards for the game-winning touchdown, dropping the Cowboys to a fourth straight loss. While it was the first start for Matt Cassel, it was a great rushing day for Darren McFadden, who became just the second player in franchise history to rush for over 150 yards (152) in a losing effort.
2016 – Cowboys 29, Eagles 23 (OT)
Dak Prescott's game-winning touchdown to Witten in the end zone lifted the Cowboys to a sixth straight win, proving that the bye certainly didn't stop their momentum. Prescott struggled for most of the night, but engineered an 11-play, 90-yard drive in regulation, ending with a 22-yard scoring pass to Bryant to tie the game. Then in overtime, the quarterback led a 12-play, 75-yard drive, capped by his scrambling touchdown throw to Witten. The Cowboys used that momentum to win five straight games and eventually get to 11-1.
2017 – Cowboys 40, 49ers 10
After six straight games with heart-stopping finishes, the Cowboys put this one away rather early, dominating the 49ers by 30 points. Ezekiel Elliott caught a 72-yard touchdown and Witten hauled in a one-handed scoring catch. The defense had five sacks and forced three turnovers, and safety Jeff Heath filled in for an injured Bailey to not only handle all of the kickoffs, but also make two extra points.

Behind The Shoot – Colour 2021
Hillsong Creative
As Colour Conference, our global women's movement, celebrates its 25th anniversary, we chat with Conference Art Director Nicole 'Noodle' Scott for a behind-the-scenes look at the 2021 Byron Bay shoot.
Last year, amid COVID-19 regulations, Black Lives Matter protests and global economic uncertainty, our design team embarked on a mission, led by Art Director Nicole 'Noodle' Scott, to capture photos and footage for the Colour Conference 2021 campaign.
"It was a crazy time to be shooting. COVID impacted every area of the shoot, from the amount of people we could take, to where we stayed, to how we travelled, to where we could get clothes from. We had costumes we were borrowing from friends overseas arrive two weeks after the shoot, and we had to send them straight back."
With experience art directing more than 20 Colour Conference shoots in locations such as India, China and California, Noodle approached the 2021 conference theme 'Be Found In The Kiss: Tender, Divine, Eternal', with lots of research.
"The Kiss is hard to represent visually. It's really obvious, because a kiss is a practical thing and everyone knows what that looks like, but Bobbie is talking about the intimacy of God, and so to visually represent that is hard. It takes a lot of thought, a lot of praying, a lot of reading, and then trying to bring it to life visually."
Founded by Hillsong's Co-Global Senior Pastor Bobbie Houston in 1995, Colour Conference has generated a global following over the past two decades. More than 47,000 women and girls attend the conference every year in Sydney, London, Cape Town, Kiev, LA and New York. This year, for the first time, the conference will be exclusively online.
"I think each year we just add a little bit more to the conference campaign, rather than reinvent it. It works, it honours women in such a beautiful way. The Colour conversation started 25 years ago and it hasn't stopped or changed. The mandate, message and words Bobbie put over the conference are still current to this day."
Remaining true to the conference's core mission of placing value upon womanhood was an important consideration for Noodle when planning the 2021 shoot.
"A piece of feedback from our last shoot really touched me. It was a college student and she had always thought of herself, for lack of a better word, as a tomboy. She had never felt comfortable thinking about being at girls' things or women's groups, but she said the photos from our campaign made her feel, for the first time, part of a greater sisterhood."
"I started thinking, how can we do this (shoot) better? I read Bobbie's Sisterhood Declaration (a mandate outlining Colour Conference's key values) which talks about women of every age, status and background. It couldn't be more inclusive."
Noodle, together with her team, decided to shoot nine different characters to represent different faces of womanhood: the business woman, the athlete, the wise woman, the wild woman, the domestic goddess, the studious woman, the adventurer, the artist and the musician.
"I thought, why don't we draw from the basics and create a shoot where all women are represented, and we did our best. Who knows, some women still may think they weren't represented but I think everyone will get the idea. Some women love sport, some women love writing…we tried to represent everything."
Preparation for the three-day shoot started two months in advance. One of the biggest planning challenges was finding a shoot location.
"The COVID-19 restrictions made it more difficult, because our variety of locations was greatly condensed. It wasn't just Australia, we were restricted to the state of New South Wales."
"When Bobbie first spoke to me about the kiss of heaven…in my mind, I went to the idea of mansions in heaven. A beautiful, amazing place we can't even dream about here on earth. So, I went in search of a palace-of-heaven type place we could get to within New South Wales, that fit within our modest budget."
After much research, Noodle came across a french style estate located in Byron Bay's picturesque Hinterland region. Boasting antique furnishings, and surrounded by lush rainforests and fields, the property provided several different environments to shoot.
"From the second we walked on the property, I knew it was the right place. I felt a peace about it, I felt like somehow God had provided us with this little piece of Europe in New South Wales."
Travelling to the property with a small crew for the shoot including volunteer stylists and models, a photographer and video operator, Noodle says relying on her instincts and being ready to change plans at the last minute proved an invaluable tool. One of the signature shots in this year's campaign was captured spontaneously in twelve minutes.
"We'd just sat down to eat dinner and thought the day had wrapped when I noticed the sun setting over the property's fields. I turned to our video editor and asked 'how long have we got until the sun actually finishes setting, until darkness comes?', and he was like 'probably 12 minutes'."
"So we gathered our models, raced to the field and started filming. I've never seen girls get ready so fast in my life, but it was worth it; the photos and video footage look stunning."
Noodle hopes this year's conference campaign brings fresh hope to women after the difficulties of 2020.
"I hope there's some healing in hearts that are hurt, I hope people get a glimpse of this campaign and see the beauty in Christianity."
"Bobbie's preparing an important message that's valuable, strong and inclusive. I think it's going to change people's lives. I think even the strongest, most put-together woman will show up and still walk away changed."
Colour Conference 2021 Online is available ON DEMAND until May 31st 2021.
